Trip.com Group was joined by more than 70 representatives from over 200 industry partners for the launch of the industry-wide initiative, which attracted an audience of over 1 million viewers worldwide. 

With pandemic control improving and travel beginning to show signs of recovery in some markets, today’s event marks the beginning of a new chapter for Trip.com Group, as it brings together the industry once again to revitalise travel with a range of new safety standards, flexibility guarantees, and promotions. 

“Cherished memories of our previous trips have given us strength throughout this difficult time, and now, as travel becomes possible again, we’re working with our partners to give users the confidence, inspiration and freedom to travel on,” said Trip.com Co-founder and Chairman James Liang. 

“At Trip.com, our commitment is to make every trip the perfect trip, and traveller safety is our number one priority,” said Trip.com Group CEO Jane Sun. “We’ve introduced these new measures to make sure that your next trip is as safe and enjoyable as ever.”

As part of today’s announcement, Trip.com Group partnered with Google to launch a joint Travel Trends Report, finding that interest in short-haul travel is quickly developing, and that in addition to safety, flexibility was the foremost consideration in planning future travel.

In addition to the sector-specific safety commitments introduced at the event, Trip.com Group announced that it would be responding to the changing demands of consumers by waiving change fees with its “Flexibooking” guarantee. 

To incentivise travellers and stimulate consumption, Trip.com Group announced the launch of its international “Travel On Sale”, giving customers access to exclusive discounts of up to 60% on flexible advance reservations with over 30,000 hotels situated in more than 180 countries.

In tandem with the promotion, the leading online travel services provider introduced a new marketing model, and plans to hold a series of in-destination livestream broadcasts across the world. Building on its efforts in select pilot markets, the series of livestreams will offer further exclusive discounts to viewers, which have to date achieved over USD 70 million in sales and a viewership of millions. 

Building on an initial USD 140 million in financial assistance provided to its partners in a number of pilot markets, the leading travel services provider today announced the expansion of its “Travel On Fund”, to help partners from all over the world revitalise their businesses. 

“Travel is such an important force for good. It’s what brings us together, and breaks down barriers between us, and what the world needs most right now is the freedom to travel on safely,” said Trip.com Group CEO Jane Sun. “With the measures for safety and flexibility announced today, and these amazing deals and exciting new products on offer, that moment is now. There’s never been a better time to start planning that next trip, and to travel on.”

[Beauty Review] MAMONDE’S LATEST BLUE CHAMOMILE SOOTHING REPAIR CREAM TO COMBAT SENSITIVE SKIN

One of the adjustments we have to make as we enter the new normal post Covid-19 includes putting on a face mask whenever we are out in public area. While wearing a face mask helps reduce the risk of virus transmission, experts noted that excessive sebum, sweat, and makeup residues trapped under the face mask may irritate the skin, resulting in a sensitive skin condition that is prone to itchiness, stings, tightness, dull skin tone or even breakouts. 

To help consumers combat sensitive skin, Mamonde, the flower expert, through its R&D has developed the NEW Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream – a functional gel-based cream that not only helps in soothing and cools reddened skin, but also help replenishes the skin with ample moisture.

The Mamonde Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream is formulated with 2X Blue AzuleneTM, a complex ingredient extracted from the Blue Chamomile Flower that contains effective soothing properties. In a skin experiment conducted by Mamonde, it is shown that the Blue Azulene possesses a greater skin soothing effect as compared to Madecassoside. While the Azulene complex instantly soothes sensitive skin, the skin lipid mimicking structure Azulene capsules help strengthen the barrier of dry, as well as sensitive skin to improve overall skin’s ability to renew, thus providing more radiant and healthy-looking skin.

In addition, this latest Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream is also infused with five types of Hyaluronic acids that come with different sizes and functions, all of which work synchronously to moisturize, cool and sooth the skin. The 5 types of Hyaluronic acid, ranging from high to low molecular weight, together with their properties are as follows: -

• 3D Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer) – retains moisture by forming a 3D moisture barrier on skin’s surface
• General Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) – keeps the skin moist via its strong moisturizing power that helps pull in water molecules 
• Fine Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid) – derived from the General Hyaluronic Acid; these fine particles help maintain skin elasticity with its excellent moisturizing effect 
• Super Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate) –Enhance skin water-holding capacity, which support an increase in dermal water content for better moisturization of the skin. 
• Ultrafine Hyaluronic Acid (Hyaluronic Acid) – These ultrafine Hyaluronic Acid penetrates deeply to provide moisture to the skin

Experiencing troubled (acne-prone skin), delicate or sensitive skin? Worry not, because the Mamonde Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream is proven to be safe and effective. It has undergone five Skin tests including non-comedogenic test, hypoallergenic test, sensitive skin test, dermatological test as well as an eye irritation (HET-CAM) test. It is also free of seven ingredients that usually to avoid when choosing cosmetic product which include animal ingredients, polyacrylamide, triethanolamine, imidazolidinyl urea, synthetic colour, PEG surfactant and paraben. 

With 100% product satisfaction obtained via a customer survey, no wonder Mamonde’s NEW Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream is a favourite among the Korean women. Retailing at RM125, the Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream (50ml) is available at all major Watson stores nationwide and also online via Shopee, Lazada and Zalora.

In conjunction with the Blue Chamomile Soothing Repair Cream launch, Mamonde is offering special deals for Watsons members (selected stores only) until 31 July 2020. Among them include:

[NEWS] COWAY SPREADS LOVE THROUGH ‘RASA SAYANG’ CAMPAIGN FOR HOMES

Finally, some good news! As families are bracing for the new normal and stepping up efforts to boost hygiene at home, Coway is doing their part with the introduction of ‘Rasa Sayang’ campaign − with 5 valued-added services that will be available to customers from June 2020 onwards. 

Coway Malaysia’s Managing Director, Kyle Choi Ki Ryong announced that Coway will now provide additional Life-Changing Services to its valued customers via its Heart Service, Mattress Care Service, Health Planning Service as well as its Product Installation, Relocation and Repair services.

“As The Life Care Company and a leader in clean air technology, Coway strives to make our environment a better, cleaner and safer place, wherever we are. What more appropriate time than now as we battle the pandemic,” he added. 

For its customers with Coway water purifiers, Coway will go over and above their existing Standard Operating Procedures. The Heart Service will see the Coway Ladies and Service Technicians using the sterilising water produced by Coway’s Hi-Care 2.0 device − conventionally used to clean and sterilise the customer’s water tank and other parts of the water purifier − to also sterilise and deodorise other items in the customer’s household, from the cutting board and cutlery to toothbrush and cosmetic cases, for added peace of mind. 

“This is crucial since the sterilising water is able to remove 99.99% of bacteria and E–Coli, commonly found on these surfaces,” Choi added.

For the Coway Prime Mattress customers, the Homecare Technicians will also use ultra- violet light to sterilise objects including electronic devices, frequently touched surfaces and items including keys, smartphone, wallet, within common spaces such as the living room and bedroom, upon request. This is a value-added service on top of Coway’s 7-Step Mattress Care service. Furthermore, the Homecare Technicians will also provide the Coway Disinfection Service to disinfect the customer’s bedroom! 

Coway Disinfection Service is an additional service on top of the existing Coway Mattress Service and will be offered in Peninsular Malaysia. The disinfectant used, consists of four active ingredients: Nano Silver (Ag), Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) and Benzalkonium Chloride (BKC) that are recognised by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) as effective to enhance overall hygiene, towards combating Covid-19, is clinically proven to kill 99.9% of the bacteria and viruses and can do so almost instantly within just 10 seconds. 

“We want to go the extra mile for our customers by helping to boost home hygiene standards in light of the increasing demands during this ‘new normal’ era,” he added. 

Choi pointed out that since viruses and bacteria can contaminate the air and linger on surfaces for days and regular household-grade disinfectants can only provide immediate and temporary protection, the disinfection service is vital to help homes stay clean and healthy.

The disinfectant is alcohol-free, non-flammable, does not cause skin irritation, and is also compliant under European Union’s Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (ROHS). It is safe for use for families with children, expectant mothers and the elderly. 

On the other hand, Coway Technicians attend to the Product Installation, Relocation and Repair adorned with hand gloves, face mask and they use hand sanitisers, while adhering strictly to social distancing norms. As added safety measures, they will wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) including gowns with a full cover torso from neck to knees as well as masks or respirators, especially at high risk areas such as hospitals. 

Incidentally, the dedicated Coway Technicians will be servicing the 300 air purifiers donated by Coway to over 38 public hospitals across Malaysia treating Covid-19 patients. The contribution was in conjunction with World Health Day and is one of Coway’s Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives during the Covid-19 pandemic. 

As Malaysia begins easing movement restrictions by reopening the economy, Coway hopes to help the public stay safe during this period. Thus, visitors to Coway’s retail kiosks in malls will each receive a free giveaway of hand sanitiser and 3-ply surgical masks from Health Planners.

[REVIEW] HADA LABO ANNOUNCES UPCOMING LAUNCH FOR ‘WE CARE’ CAMPAIGN TO CELEBRATE ITS 10TH ANNIVERSARY

Hada Labo has announced the upcoming launch of the ‘We Care’ campaign in conjunction with its 10th anniversary celebration. The campaign, which is also part of the brand’s Corporate Social Responsibility effort will witness collaboration with Non-governmental Organisations and Watsons in its contribution to society and environment.

The Hada Labo ‘We Care’ campaign covers three pillars, namely ‘Care for You’, ‘Care for Society’ and ‘Care for Nature’. The ‘Care for You’ campaign focuses on providing skincare education to the public in caring for their skin, while the ‘Care for Society’ campaign is aimed at reaching out to the underprivileged community. The ‘Care for Nature’ campaign, on the other hand, will see the brand’s involvement in helping to create a sustainable environment. These series of campaigns are set to be kicking off in July, August, and September, respectively.

“As a skincare brand that aspires to bring beauty back to the basics - perfect, simple, and confident, Hada Labo is well-received by our local beauty enthusiasts and we are honoured to be one of the leading skincare brands for the past decade. The Hada Labo ‘We Care’ campaign will be launched in celebration of this significant milestone and also to thank the public for their continuous support. In celebrating this success, we would also like to remember the less fortunate and give back to society,” said Lim Mei Yuen, General Manager of Rohto-Mentholatum Malaysia.

Come July, the public can look forward to the month-long Hada Labo ‘Care for You’ campaign that includes educating customers on the various tips and ways to maintain beautiful and healthy skin. Customers will also be receiving two complimentary bottles of Hada Labo Lotion (9ml) when they fill up their details on a microsite which can be accessed via Hada Labo Malaysia Website ( http://hadalabo.com.my/ ) and Hada Labo Malaysia FB page ( https://www.facebook.com/MyHadaLabo/ )

Fundraising in conjunction with the ‘We Care for Society’ and ‘We Care for Nature’ will also be held where proceeds from the sale of Hada Labo products in Watsons will go to the fund. Hado Labo aims to raise a total of RM100,000 for both the campaigns.
